Material and its Properties
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered timber that can be used to build walls and floors making up the structure of entire buildings. Weight for weight, CLT is stronger than steel and concrete and can be machined to incredibly high tolerances. This makes it ideal for prefabrication and rapid assembly, reducing construction times by around 30%.

Environmental Response
MultiPly comprises 111 panels of CLT, locking in 30 tonnes of carbon dioxide. This means that all the emissions from making and transporting the raw materials are offset, making MultiPly a carbon-neutral structure to fight climate change.
